Is satyriasis and nymphomania listed as bona fide psychological disorders?
DW12345678
Nymphomania and Satyriasis were once listed as disorders in the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. They are not listed in the current edition, the DSM-IV-TR. However, they have been combined with other disorders under the heading of Hypersexuality Disorder, which is proposed as an addition to the DSM-V.
Both Nymphomania and Satyriasis are still part of ICD-10.
